Blanche was my mother's best friend. Even though Blanche was mom's aunt, they were only a few months apart in age. I wish that I had been able to spend more time with aunt Blanche. The few times that I was with her, she always seemed to be very gracious and pleasant to be around. I know from our conversations that she loved the Lord and that she was saved and is now resting in heaven and back united with my mother.
